Survival Isle (Join Now!)

Bienvenidos, welcome!! (Sorry, have to practice my Spanish) it’s finally starting, Survival Isle!! For the next week, you can enter your character. But there are some restrictions: your character must be a non-legendary creature, cmc 3, ONE keyword to represent their weapon (for example: double strike for dual wielding, first strike for a long weapon), one activated ability to represent any ability they have (example: {t}, tap two target creatures), rare at most, balanced power/toughness, humanoid creature type only (no dragons, wurms, hydras, etc.).

Next I’ll go over turns: the first turn I will give a brief description of your surroundings, then I will ask “explore, gather food or gather resources?” Explore means you will pick a direction, North, south, east or west, and then you will move in that direction until night falls or you encounter something. Gather resources means you will search the immediate area for resources such as wood or stone, and gather food means you will search for food. If you encounter another player, you can work together, and if you encounter another creature, you can fight it or flee from it. Your character’s power and toughness and the the other creature’s power and toughness will matter for battles. The first three players to make it to the center of the Isle will go to a boss fight (more details on that to come).

Next is crafting. Yes, you can make and even find weapons (and shields). Weapons and shields will give your character extra bonuses. To craft you need to have the proper materials, so gather. If you have questions about crafting or the tournament in general, PM me. I thank all who enter, but I’ll only take the first 10-12 balanced characters.

@Faiths_Guide awesome idea, but the keyword has to reflect his weapon. I’m sure you could find a way to make it work still :)@WickedShadow196 exploring will move you around the island, based on which direction (north east south or west) you choose. Your character will typically move in that direction until nightfall. Gather food will get you some food from the immediate vicinity (as will killing other monsters), which you will have to eat. Gather resources gets you some materials you can use to craft new weapons and shields, which can boost your characters power and toughness. You can only have 1 weapon and 1 shield equipped though, so choose wisely. Weapons and shields can also be found around the island occasionally.

@Vardus it doesn’t really matter, because your character’s toughness determines how quick they will die, so it’s not like traditional magic, where I’m trying to kill all of you and your characters are blocking my attacks. So the life gain is fine, in other words.@fiskerton your keyword can indeed be prowess if your character is strictly magic based, but lifelink and hexproof may be something that the activated ability can give your character. Also I would try to keep it realistic, so no super powerful nova blasters or anything, but I’d say something like a Star Wars blaster is fine.
